2. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DCM [TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER] - TELEPHONE MICROPHONE ASSEMBLY) |
(a) Disconnect the J157 DCM (telematics transceiver) connector.
(b) Disconnect the U15 telephone microphone assembly connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
---|---|---|
J157-5 (MCVD) - U15-1 (MACC) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
J157-6 (MCI+) - U15-2 (MIC+) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
J157-7 (MCI-) - U15-4 (MIC-) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
J157-23 (SGND) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
J157-5 (MCVD) or U15-1 (MACC) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
J157-6 (MCI+) or U15-2 (MIC+) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
J157-7 (MCI-) or U15-4 (MIC-) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
